Becareful, if you had enough time on your hands for that..you'll be looking for a motorcycle or PSD next. Just ask Joe what happens when you buy one of those "spark plug-less engines". Though I wouldn't listen to too much of what Jeff says about 'em...deep down he really wants one of his own.
Dont want a bike, never cared to much for 2 wheel rides. Now if I could get a 351C to power one then I would think about it. The diesel, Im actually wanting one for my 4x4. Rather have a mechanical one just for simplicity but the PSD does make good power. Either a 6.9/7.3 IDI or Cummins. Would like to keep it all Ford but the frame & axles arent so it doesnt matter.

Oh, and yesterday marked 13yrs I been in the Air Force!
See if Zack can can snag you a piece of railroad iron for a bumper.
Gees, it's muggier outside than it's inside one of those Scandinavia steam rooms. That thunderstorm last night just got the ground wet so we'd have a over-sized "stop & rob" hot-dog bun warmer.

Not sure if I should say congratulation or I'm sorry. But on a serous note, I will say thank you.

Great, you've been talking to Jeff again He's converted another to the Amish way of life...

How long of a piece do you want? Or more importantly...how much weight can you hang off the truck before the springs buckle? I know where a couple pieces are that tip the scales at 175k-180k pound. I'm pretty sure the Princess could drag it down the road...though it would need a repaving and I'm not exactly sure how far I could drag it.

There you go hating again...I think we need to have an intervention at Mt. Holly. I'm sure between the efforts of Scott, Joe & myself...we'll bring you around to the dark side.

Jeff all anti-diesel? Theres nothing wrong with a 7.3l but I want the simplicity of a mechanical diesel. Not a TON of power but enough to handle general use.
I could actually use some RR ties. There is some on the south side of Clarksville from when they re did them, I just dont want to deal with cops if I stop & go to loading them up.

He's not anti-diesel; just high preformance powerhouse diesel. In Jeff's eyes, if it doesn't have an injection pump (non-HUEI)...it ain't worth owning.

Catch one of those UP pick-up trucks in the area. It might not be the roadmaster (in charge of track structure) but they'd know how to get a hold of him. He/she would be the person you need to talk to. We've got a crap load of used ones stacked up here...but I don't have a good trailer at the moment to move them. And it's for sure too blessed hot to load 'em by hand.

I was thinking like 6" C-channel or maybe a 6"x8" square tube. I would like to do a matching front. I need to see what I can find and see if I can find a plasma cutter or torch.
Good morning all my FTE buddies!

Monday is upon us yet again and coffee is ready!
